Athena
Athena
Overview
Athena is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created through a cross of the infamous White Widow X Empress Kush strains and named for the Greek goddess of wisdom. This strain emerged from the union of two legendary genetics, combining White Widow's renowned trichome production and energizing effects with Empress Kush's relaxing properties. The Athena high is just as sweet as it sounds, with a strong clear-headed high that's complemented by a relaxing body buzz that provides substantial pain relief. It starts with an energetic mood boosting lift with a sense of focus that ebbs throughout the rest of the body, leaving you creatively inspired and incredibly introspective. Athena buds have round and airy leafy amber nugs with bright brown hairs and a thick insanely frosty coating of amber hued tiny crystal trichomes. Users often appreciate its well-rounded effects, which start with a euphoric cerebral high followed by a relaxing body sensation. Athena marijuana is ideal for both daytime and evening use, providing relief from stress, anxiety, and mild pain.
